Ring-shaped cookies with lactose free whipping cream


Sorry if I left aside my blog ...but I got flu.
Fever, cough, sore throat...full package.
I know, it sounds weird and ridiculous, but actually that's the way it goes.
I was far from flu all the winter , but  this sudden last weeks cold snap in North Italy stitched me up.
After all I wrote that I am meteoropathic ...and my body (sigh! not only it!) was upset by feeling again such temperatures.
Yesterday it seemed Christmas time ...not May!

I felt really depressed,I don't hide it, and I comfort myself with cookies ...my favourites.
This time they are ring-shaped and with whipping cream, obviously lactose free .




Ingredients:
200 g corn flour
50 g corn starch
150 g potato starch
100 g vanilla-flavoured fruit sugar
 (it is enough to put the used vanilla bean with fruit sugar for a while, and then whisking the fruit sugar only with the blender  so it will be icing)
200 g margarine
1 egg
half glass lactose free whipping cream
a pinch of salt
1 yolk

Preparation:
I sift the flour in a bowl and I add both starches.
I make a hole in the middle and I put inside the egg.
I beat it and I add fruit sugar, stirring from the centre.
Then I add the margarine , previously melted in a double saucepan and let it cooling down.
Last, I pour the whipping cream (not whipped) and a pinch of salt.
I knead the dough for some minutes and then I roll it.
With a round cookies cutter I make some rounds and with a small always round cutter I make the hole in the centre.
So to have ring-shaped cookies.
I brush them with a beaten yolk and I bake them for 20 minutes at 180° (low temperature).




Meanwhile  we wait for Summer coming , Spring prefers other places...I think that I will use the oven still for a while...but it is a cold comfort, I make baked pasta also in August!!
